Early life and education

He received his B.L. degree from the University of Tokyo in 1990 and his M.B.A. from the Stanford University School of Business in 1995.[1] Yuzaki's paid job was as a part-time teacher at an after-school program to help students pass their admissions exams.[2]
Political career
Yuzaki served in the Ministry of International Trade and Industry before running for governor of the Hiroshima Prefecture.[3] He was elected governor of the Hiroshima Prefecture on November 8, 2009, as the candidate of the member of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (LDP). Yuzaki has identified cultivating a culture of entrepreneurship in Hiroshima as a top priority in his political career.[2]
As governor of Hiroshima, he tried to forge new initiatives in the field of nuclear disarmament. On November 4, 2011, he announced a new plan to formulate a road map for nuclear abolition through the cooperation of former government officials. The project is titled Hiroshima for Global Peace.[4] In the same month, he visited Washington, D.C., and met US National Security Council member Laura Holgate in order to enlist the cooperation of the US government.[5]
In the 2021 Liberal Democratic Party leadership election, Yuzaki endorsed the campaign of Fumio Kishida.[6]
Other activities
He is a member of the International Advisory Board at the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford.[7] Yuzaki is a fan of American barbecue cuisine, which he states is a product of his education at Stanford.[2]
